The Wit and Wisdom of Lemmy
Paul Brannigan
Celebrating the incredible life of the ageless, warty front man from the loudest band in
the world, this surprising biography reveals the remarkably lucid, trenchant, cynical and
well-read wit of Lemmy from Motörhead. From musings on his childhood, his penchant
for whiskey, his philosophy on life, age and libido, and being a rock icon, this intriguing

thority on anything from the history of the Third Reich, to the novels of P. G. Wodehouse,
and all matters equestrian. Filled with a compilation of his finest bon mots, apophthegms,
and musings in the bottom of a glass of Jack Daniels, this revelatory peek into the mind—
and occasional madness—of an iconic rock god is essential for fans of Motörhead and
music alike. Paul Brannigan is the editor of Kerrang!, the weekly music magazine.

turing a full discography and film lists, this revealing biography takes a fascinating look

The Secret Diary of Simon Cowell

Tony Cowell
Long thought lost to the ages, the early thoughts and private scribblings of the “Amer-
ican Idol” star, presented by his one and only big brother.
As the older brother of the world’s nastiest television personality, Tony Cowell felt
he owed it to his brother’s adoring public to release as many embarrassing nuggets
of Simon’s misadventures as the laws of libel would allow. What if Simon had kept a
diary since he was six years old? This is his brother’s spoof diary, which charts the
course of Simon’s rise to celebrity. Part fact and part fib, it is a humorous take on
what might have happened and what really did. Tony reveals the inner machinations
of one of pop culture’s most outspoken of men, including his earliest dreams, his first
girlfriend, his first job, and his early plans to take over the music industry. Featuring
previously unpublished secrets of this media star and millionaire, including his thoughts
on fellow “American Idol” panelists, this is the inside scoop on Mr. Nasty himself.
Tony Cowell is a former journalist and the author of I Hate to Be Rude But . . . and

Unimagined
A Muslim Boy Meets the West
Imran Ahmad
Now in paper, the misadventures of a Muslim boy born in Pakistan who grows up to
embrace the West.
“A forthright, wry, entirely enjoyable memoir . . . A scrupulously well-intentioned

look at how Christians and Muslims might live respectfully side by side.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Wonderfully evocative and strangely touching.” —Sunday Times
Imran Ahmad remembers his childhood in a series of vivid snapshots: outrage as deserved
victory is snatched away from him in the Karachi Bonnie Baby contest; being tricked out
of his collection of Tarzan bubblegum cards by a junior con artist; the heady taste of suc-
cess in the Metropolitan Police schools quiz; joy at passing the entrance exam to the local
grammar school; and shock at experiencing racist abuse from pupils, neighbors, and
strangers. After moving to London from Karachi at age two, Imran’s response to his strange
new surroundings is to engage in an eternal quest to become the quintessential English
gentleman: tie perfectly knotted, shirt pristinely ironed, hair neatly combed. Like most boys,
he also has a parallel obsession with cars and girls: he yearns to go driving off into the
distance in a Jaguar XJS and encountering danger, adventure, and a vivacious brunette.
This is a lighthearted and amusing look at the results of East meeting West inside the head
of a precocious and headstrong boy. Imran Ahmad works for General Electric and is on
the board of the organization British Muslims for Secular Democracy.

The Most Dangerous Enemy

A History of the Battle of Britain
Stephen Bungay
Challenging virtually every time-honored myth and assumption about Britain’s victory,
this definitive account asserts that it was the Germans who never quite recovered from
their amateurish underestimation of their “most dangerous enemy.”
“A fascinating case history in illusion and reality. He dispels the myths and kills the
cliches . . . Admirable.” —Sunday Times
“The most exhaustive and detailed account of the Battle of Britain that has yet ap-
peared. An important achievement.” —Times Literary Supplement
Already hailed as the standard work, The Most Dangerous Enemy is an authoritative his-
tory of the British battle that galvanized the public imagination and symbolized the des-
tiny of a nation. But in this rigorous reinvestigation of the Battle of Britain, Stephen Bungay
tells a story full of revelations. Whether assessing the development of radar or the rela-
tive merits of the Spitfire, Hurricane, and Messerschmitt, he uncovers the unexpected truth
behind many time-honored myths. Not only a major work of modern history but also a
truly compelling narrative, The Most Dangerous Enemy confirms the Battle of Britain as
a crucial event in European history. Stephen Bungay is the author of Alamein.

Out On Your Feet
The Hallucinatory World of Hundred-Mile Walking
Julie Welch
For years Julie Welch edited the magazine of the Long Distance Walkers Associa-
tion, a large group of people who meet up most weekends to accomplish arduously
long walking challenges of 30, 40, and 50 miles long. She became more and more
intrigued with the highlight of the long-distance-walking calendar: the annual Hun-
dred. Walking 100 miles, nonstop, within 48 hours—watching the sun come up twice.
Eventually she decided she had to try it. This is the story of the 50-mile walks she
took part in to build up to the big day; the singular, admirable, sometimes eccen-
tric, and above all tough members of the long-distance fraternity; and of the full
wonder, pain, horror, exhilaration, and even hallucination (from groups of nuns to
children’s roadside picnics at 4 in the morning) of walking the Hundred. Julie Welch
is a sports writer and journalist whose previous book was 26.2, about running the
London Marathon. She writes regularly on soccer and was the first female soccer
correspondent for a national newspaper.

cial history of England’s most iconic automobile and is perfect for both Mini enthu-
siasts and anyone interested in Britain’s postwar automotive history. Martin

The Scottish Kitchen
Christopher Trotter
A beautifully produced cookbook, featuring 150 regional Scottish recipes,
both traditional and modern.
“Presents 150 recipes, ranging from classics like Kedgeree and Damson
Crumble to sophisticated dishes such as Langoustines with Tomato and
Saffron Sauce. The head notes are both entertaining and informative,
and there are short essays on the different regions of Scotland scattered
throughout. One of the few works on this subject, Trotter’s book is
recommended.” —Library Journal
Scotland has long maintained a rich tradition of regional cookery, includ-
ing the breads and cakes of the Borders, the peasant cookery of the impov-
erished Highlands, and the more sophisticated and cosmopolitan cuisines of
Edinburgh and Glasgow. Gathered in this book are the best of these dishes,
including not only classic Scots fare such as Cullen Skink, Tweed Kettle, or
Clooty Dumpling, but also lesser-known recipes, some from the archives of
properties belonging to the National Trust for Scotland. Where necessary,
traditional recipes have been given a contemporary interpretation to adapt
them to modern tastes or to make use of modern ingredients, and there is
also a leavening of the author’s own recipes, all of which are firmly in the
Scottish tradition.

The Gardens of the National Trust for Scotland
Francesca Greenoak
A beautifully illustrated tour of more than 60 of Scotland’s National Trust gar-

dens, including a history of each garden, its designer, its restoration and con-
servation, visiting information, and a wealth of color photos and historical plans.
Since 1945, when it acquired its first garden at Culzean Castle, the National Trust for
Scotland has become the country’s largest garden owner. Its properties include 35 major
gardens as well as another 30 that are part of properties acquired for their architectural
or historical importance. Notable for their range and variety, the gardens represent the full
history of Scottish gardening, from the late medieval garden at Culross Palace to the 20th-
century plant collections at Brodrick and Inverewe. The erudite narrative depicts each gar-
den in detail—it’s history, setting, and historical or cultural connections, as well as its design
and plantings. Complete with visiting information, this is a superb book for both garden
lovers and travelers to Scotland. Francesca Greenoak has been a gardening correspondent
for the London Times and the New York Times.

Charles Latham’s Gardens of Italy

From the Archives of Country Life
Helena Attlee
Bearing testament to the rich heritage of some of Italy’s greatest gardens in the golden
age before World War I, this stunning compilation is a pictorial preservation of these
magnificent Renaissance and Baroque gardens from 1903 onwards. Presented in in-
tricate detail, these exceptional photographs of aristocratic gardens—fallen into a state
of picturesque decrepitude as a result of the political turmoil that overtook Italy in
the 19th century—highlight the elaborate architecture, statuary, and ingenious wa-
terworks favored by Renaissance architects, and are captured in all their faded mag-
nificence. Accompanied by incisive commentary by a leading authority on garden
history, this beautiful historical photographic documentation is an essential resource
for garden, architecture, and history enthusiasts alike. Helena Attlee is the author of
several books, including The Gardens of Portugal, The Gardens of Wales, Italian Gar-
dens: A Cultural History, and The Most Beautiful Country Towns of Provence.

vey of an outstanding century of British garden-making. Tim Richardson is the for-

The Great Edwardian Gardens of Harold Peto

Robin Whalley
The gardens of the great Edwardian landscape designers are captured in all their
glory in 200 color and duotone images from the archives of Country Life. Harold
Peto (1854–1933) was one of the most celebrated landscape designers of the Ed-
wardian era. A leading exponent of the ultra-romantic Italianate style so fashion-
able in the first two decades of the 20th century, he was also influenced by the Arts
and Crafts movement. Much admired by the likes of Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin
Lutyens, he was recognized as one of the most successful garden designers of his
generation and enjoyed a formidable reputation both in England and the south of
France. The commentary is brought to life by 200 ravishing photos depicting many
of Peto’s gardens in their heyday. Robin Whalley is a garden historian.

just looking at the different materials and techniques but also at the effects
they create. These lessons are then applied to every area of the home, from

and achievable interior styles are provided. In the final chapter, clever ideas
for revitalizing rooms are offered without the need for a complete redesign.

The Book of the Edwardian & Interwar House
Richard Russell Lawrence
Lavishly illustrated with contemporary photographs, architectural plans, and draw-
ings and illustrations of period decoration and furnishings, this mine of histori-
cal and practical information is an invaluable resource for house-proud owners
interested in studying, maintaining, or restoring their home’s period character.
More than one million houses were built in Britain during the Edwardian period and
another four million in the years between the two World Wars; most of these are
still in use as homes today. This book explains to current owners of such houses why
and by whom their structures were built; how the original occupants would have
decorated, furnished, and used them; and the development of the distinctive archi-
tectural styles of the time. The leading architects of the Edwardian period were en-
thusiasts for a return to English vernacular styles, in contrast to what they
considered the dry rigidities of classicism and the extravaganzas of the Gothic re-
vival, while also being obliged for the first time to address the changes necessary to
incorporate innovations such as modern sanitation, bathing facilities, and the use
of electricity into their designs. The first half of the book looks at the styles that these
men created for showpiece developments and the way in which their designs were
copied by speculative builders and adapted for the first council houses. There are
also chapters on the gardens of the period. In the second half, individual chapters
are devoted to the various elements of the house—fireplaces and chimneys, doors
and windows, kitchens, bathrooms, staircases, and more—including the methods and
materials used in their construction and the decorative styles and materials fashionable
at the time. Richard Russell Lawrence is the coauthor, illustrator, and designer of
The Period House: Style, Detail & Decoration 1774–1914.

Britain’s Lost Cities

Gavin Stamp
High-quality images of beautiful streets and buildings, destroyed by bombing or
planned demolition, bring to life the stories behind Britain’s lost urban heritage.
The destruction meted out on Britain’s city center during the 20th century, by the
combined efforts of the Luftwaffe and brutalist city planners, is legendary. Medieval
churches, Tudor alleyways, Georgian terraces, and Victorian theatres vanished for-
ever, to be replaced by a gruesome landscape of concrete office blocks and char-
acterless shopping malls. Now, for the first time, architectural historian Gavin Stamp
shows exactly what has been lost. Reproduced in this haunting volume are hun-
dreds of top-quality photographs of cities, showing streets and buildings that are
gone forever. The accompanying text traces their creation and destruction, re-
membering the massive campaign to save the Euston Arch, wantonly demolished
in 1962, and mourning the loss of lovely medieval Coventry, which was already
doomed by the city planners even before German air raids intervened. Alternately
fascinating, enraging, and heartbreaking, this is an extraordinary evocation of Britain’s
architectural past, and a much-needed reminder of the importance of preserving
heritage. Gavin Stamp is an architectural historian and the author of Alexander
‘Greek’ Thomson, Edwin Lutyens: Country Houses, and Memorial to the Missing
of the Somme.

The Country Houses of Robert Adam

Setting out to provide a pictorial survey of Robert Adam’s country and town houses, this
book is arranged in chronological order to show the development of his genius, including

ment. Ten of his most important town houses are covered, as well as a variety of other build-

England’s Lost Houses

Giles Worsley
Of all the photographs in Country Life magazine’s extensive archive, none are more
poignant or intriguing than the images of houses that have been lost. In many cases, these
pictures are also the only surviving records of important houses and interiors that were de-
stroyed. For the first time, these images have been collected in one volume, providing a pow-
erful impression of the richness and variety of the English country house and of the treasures
that were lost through demolition or fire during the 20th century. The accompanying illu-
minating text places the demolition of country houses in its historical context, revealing why
so many were destroyed in the last century. Giles Worsley was an architectural writer for Coun-
try Life, architectural editor for the Georgian Group Journal and Perspectives on Architec-
ture, and architecture correspondent for the Daily Telegraph.
London Interiors
John Cornforth
London’s historic houses and domestic interiors have suffered greater loss and change than
most of their provincial counterparts due to political and social change, war, and a tradition
of continuous rebuilding. The photographic archive accumulated over the past century by
the magazine Country Life forms a remarkable and evocative record of houses as they were.
In this latest collection, the vanished magnificence of the great 18th-century houses of the
aristocracy is covered, from the glamorous Rococo interiors of Norfolk House to the Gothic
Pomfret Castle. Other houses are seen at key moments in their history: Robert Adam’s Home
House occupied by Samuel Courtauld and his celebrated collection of Impressionist master-
pieces; the monumental Classical interiors of Dorchester House, photographed shortly be-
fore they were swept away. In addition to many images of spectacular turn-of-the-century
opulence, the book also reflects fashionable taste between the wars: Lady Diana Cooper’s
bathroom, Chips Channon’s staggering dining room, and Lord and Lady Louis Mountbat-
ten’s elegant apartment. John Cornforth is the author of Early Georgian Interiors.

The Jacobean Country House

Nicholas Cooper
The gabled manor houses of the early 17th century are, for many, the epitome of the English
country house; indeed, Jacobean houses form the core of the National Trust collection. Richly
illustrated with color and duotone photographs from Country Life’s unparalleled archive, this
book tells the absorbing story of the evolution of the Jacobean country house. Though the
Jacobean period itself spanned only 22 years (1603–1625), it had a major impact on English
domestic architecture: this was an exciting period of experiment and discovery, with an ex-
traordinary range of architectural styles being brought into play. The authoritative essays on
22 key Jacobean houses are brought to life with the beautifully reproduced photographs in
this latest volume in the acclaimed Country Life series. Nicholas Cooper is an architectural
historian and a leading authority on the Jacobean period and architecture.

and Luscombe in Devon. The architects whose work is featured include the Wyatt dynasty,
Henry Holland, John Nash, C. R. Cockerell, Robert Smirke, William Wilkins, Thomas Hop-
per, Humphrey Repton, and Sir John Soane. The book also looks at important architectural
themes of the period, from the development of the Greco-Roman style to the Gothic Revival
and Picturesque. John Martin Robinson is a leading architectural historian, whose previous

verrary and Culzean, recorded in photographs of timeless authority. Also profiled are the frag-
ile ensembles of 18th-century houses—Arniston, Newhailes, Drum—shown with their
gardens, plasterwork, tapestries, furniture, and paintings. Most breathtaking of all is Hamil-
ton Palace and its incomparable collections photographed months before the house was de-
molished and its treasures scattered. Featuring more than 200 of Country Life’s finest

Scotland’s Lost Houses
Ian Gow
A poignant collection of images detailing Scotland’s 20 most magnificent—
but now demolished—country homes.
“Beautifully illustrated and evocative.” —Country Life

“[A] sumptuous book . . . Ian Gow covers all this indefensible waste and
destruction with dry wit.” —Times Literary Supplement
Since 1945 more than 200 of the most noted houses in Scotland have been lost,
whether to fire, rot, or demolition. Fortunately, photographs were taken of many
of these great structures both prior to and during their destruction. Collected
here are images of 20 of the most important lost Scottish houses, among them
Hamilton Palace, Rosneath, Balbardie, Amisfield, Gordon Castle, Guisachan,
Dunglass, and Millearne. These images provide a fitting testimony to architectural
masterpieces from a variety of eras and—in cases such as that or Murthly—
offer a painstaking and heartbreaking record of their unfortunate demise. Ian
Gow is the curator of collections at the National Monuments Record of Scot-
land and the author of several books, including Scottish Country Houses 1600–

The Victorian Society Book of the Victorian House

Kit Wedd
Practical advice on restoring, preserving, and maintaining a Victorian house, this
volume includes information on 19th-century building methods and materials, dec-
orative schemes, and period details, as well as suggestions for adapting Victorian
homes to suit a modern lifestyle without sacrificing their period qualities.
For any house-proud owner of a Victorian property this book represents a unique
and invaluable resource. Packed with information about Victorian architectural ideas,
it includes a wealth of practical advice about the maintenance and conservation of
Victorian homes. Part One provides a concise overview of the development of the
Victorian house, the wide range of architectural styles that came in and out of fash-
ion over the period, and the lifestyles of the original owners the houses were designed
to accommodate. Throughout, the emphasis is on family houses of various sizes rather
than the great houses of the aristocracy, which are discussed only in relation to their
influence on contemporary builders and architects. Part Two discusses structures and
materials, covering brickwork, stone, renders and stuccos, roofs, woodwork, win-
dows and doors, ironwork, and conservatories. In each case there is comprehensive
advice on symptoms of trouble, techniques for preservation and restoration, and the
correct choice of materials. Part Three covers services—fireplaces and chimneys, light-
ing, kitchens and bathrooms—all subjects requiring particular sensitivity to achieve

Collected here are mermaids, dragons, wyverns, unicorns, and the little woodland creatures
called wodwos, as well as miraculous events such as the Legend of the True Cross, Jonah and

cheerful little dragon (in Wirksworth, Derbyshire); the wyverns—photographed in Ripon and
Canterbury Cathedrals—which were fire-breathing creatures with the head of a dragon, the
body of a snake, and both legs and wings. Such a magnificent gallery of mythical creatures
have all been found within ancient Christian churches, offering remarkable insight into the
richness and strangeness of these churches’ cultural heritage.

Denim
From Cowboys to Catwalks: A Visual History of the World’s
Most Legendary Fabric
Graham Marsh and Paul Trynka
Edited by June Marsh
Denim: From Cowboys to Catwalks is a one-of-a-kind pictorial history of
this illustrious fabric, featuring archival photos from pioneering brands; rare
pictures of denim-clad icons; images of denim’s role in subcultures from 1950s
teens to LA hip hop; examples of rare, collectable garments; a guide to valu-
able vintage items, and more.
The story of denim is a tale rich in paradox. Cherished alike by cowboys and
models, the fabric is at once a symbol of the counterculture and the raw mate-
rial of a major industry. A simple fabric, dating back to 17th-century France,
denim today is ubiquitous: Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood have
pushed it into the forefront of high fashion; and Calvin Klein and Giorgio Ar-
mani have made it the basis for billion-dollar brands. This homage to the much-
loved fabric delves deep into the archives to trace the origins and development
of denim. It features pictures of icons wearing denim, such as Marilyn Monroe
and Steve McQueen, plus specially commissioned photos of rare and classic gar-
ments from the 1880s to the present day. It is complete with a glossary and a
guide to valuable vintage items. Graham Marsh is the author of numerous books,
including The Cover Art of Blue Note, East Coasting, and California Cool. Paul
Trynka is a former editor of Mojo magazine and the author of Portrait of the
Blues. Tony Nourmand is the owner of the Reel Poster Gallery.

holder, Terry-Thomas was known as an absolute bounder both onscreen and off. Born in 1911

self at a very early age into a dandy and gadabout. He put the finishing touches to his per-
sona with the groundbreaking TV comedy series of the mid-1950s How Do You View?, a
forerunner of The Goon Show and Monty Python. Terry-Thomas went on to carve out a long
and lucrative career in America, appearing on TV alongside Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, and

ways playing the mischievous gent. This entertaining biography celebrates the life and career

Errol Flynn
Gentleman Hellraiser
David Bret
With his stunning looks and swashbuckling onscreen panache, Errol Flynn was by all appearances
the quintessential movie star who had it all. But Flynn’s manicured Hollywood persona did
little to hide his insatiable appetites off-screen: the binge drinking, brawling, and womanizing
that would forever cement his place as a film legend. This hard-hitting study traces the life and
loves of both the actor and man. It was Flynn’s natural charisma and athletic prowess that
made him the heartthrob star of Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood. But Hol-
lywood’s prodigal son was never far from controversy and scandal. In a series of extraordi-
nary revelations this biography explores the star’s love of underage girls, young men, binge
drinking, and drug experimentation, as well as his controversial background as a slave trader
in New Guinea, involvement with the Spanish civil war, and his support for Castro. This is a
compelling and engrossing portrait of the original action-adventure star. David Bret is the
author of numerous celebrity biographies, including Clark Gable: Tormented Star, Joan Craw-
ford: Hollywood Martyr, Piaf: A Passionate Life, and Rock Hudson.

trait of a man of contradictions and one of Hollywood’s greatest stars. Michael Munn is an
actor, director, former journalist and Hollywood publicist, and the author of several books,

Stewart Granger
The Last of the Swashbucklers
Don Shiach
Stewart Granger was one of the few British actors who made it as a swashbuckling Hollywood
screen idol during the golden age of movies. His most famous roles—in films like Scaramouche,
The Prisoner of Zenda, and King Solomon’s Mines—established him as a prototypical man of
action: undeniably masculine, chivalrous, and something of a buccaneer. Granger’s time at the
top, however, was short. Not only did Hollywood move on to more complex films, starring more
youthful, enigmatic stars but Granger also gained a reputation for being difficult. His private
life was both complicated and spectacular—a torrid affair with Deborah Kerr and then marriage
to Jean Simmons, the love of his life. In his new biography, film historian Don Shiach offers the
first serious account of Stewart Granger’s life and career.
Jean Harlow
Tarnished Angel
David Bret
Showcasing the tumultuous career of one of Hollywood’s most enigmatic and uninhibited stars,
this intimate memoir goes behind the silver screen to reveal the truth behind the original Blonde
Bombshell. From an unhappy upbringing by an unloving mother and abusive stepfather, to her
love for older men and the mistreatment she suffered at their hands, her special relationship to
William Powell, to being ripped off by the studios, this careful documentation of Harlow’s rise
to stardom documents her progression from vivacious vixen to screwball comedienne. Highlighting
Harlow’s bold and carefree attitude in a career dominated by men, this is an engaging portrayal
of the unabashed and iconic starlet. David Bret is the author of numerous celebrity biographies,
including Clark Gable: Tormented Star, Joan Crawford: Hollywood Martyr, and Rock Hudson.

To Be a Woman
The Life of Jill Craigie
Carl Rollyson
This biography of the film-maker, writer, and feminist Jill Craigie is an intimate portrait of an in-
fluential and charismatic woman. Craigie became the first woman to establish a national repu-
tation in the documentary film field, most notably as a result of her 1944 film, Out of Chaos. As
the women’s movement grew in strength in Britain during the 1960s and 1970s, Craigie became
an inspirational figure for many of its leaders and an active participant in many feminist causes.
For this book, access was given to the archive in her husband’s Hampstead home, which contains
Craigie’s research notes, drafts of her journalism and scripts, and her correspondence with an array
of major historical figures, ranging from prime ministers to writers, film-makers and artists. Carl
Rollyson is the author of Susan Sontag and The Lives of Norman Mailer.

Last Chorus
An Autobiographical Medley
Humphrey Lyttelton
A feast for all his many fans and admirers, this is the great Humphrey Lyttelton’s last book, a
sparkling autobiographical kaleidoscope of memories, anecdotes, and entertaining stories from
his colorful life, from his childhood as the son of a famous Eton Housemaster, through to his
role as the irrepressible chairman of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue. A Renaissance man—musician,
writer, cartoonist, calligrapher, and broadcaster—Humph was descended from a long line of land-
owning, political, literary, clerical, scholastic, and literary forebears. Whether sneaking off when
a child to buy his first trumpet, or wading ashore in Italy during World War II with a rifle in one
hand and a trumpet in the other, or playing alongside such jazz greats as Louis Armstrong and
Duke Ellington, Humph was very much his own man, and he comes vividly to life in this en-
gaging and witty self-portrait. Every Monday night from 1967 until 2008, Humphrey Lyttelton
wrote and presented BBC’s The Best of Jazz, and he was, famously, chairman of the anarchic,
award-winning radio program I’m Sorry, I Haven’t a Clue. He wrote nine books, composed more
than 200 tunes, and has honorary doctorates at the universities of Warwick, Loughborough,
Durham, Keele, Hertford, and de Montfort.

Elvis
From Memphis to Hollywood
Alan Fortas and Alanna Nash
After 10 years out of print, this memoir by a member of the King’s own Memphis Mafia is reis-
sued, a must-have for all Elvis aficionados.
When in June 1968, clad in black leather, a nervous Elvis Presley made his now legendary ’68 Come-
back Special, Alan Fortas was one of the five friends asked to be on stage with him. Fortas ultimately
spent nearly 12 years working for Elvis, having been asked to join his fraternity of bodyguards and
close buddies that came to be known as the Memphis Mafia back in 1958. He chronicles the time
he spent living, traveling, and playing hard with Elvis, during which he watched Elvis become in-
creasingly disillusioned with the endless stream of movies he was forced to act in, saw him become
increasingly reliant on drugs, and witnessed Elvis’s colorful sex life. Alanna Nash writes for the New
York Times and Entertainment Weekly. She is the author of The Colonel: The Extraordinary Story
of Colonel Tom Parker and Elvis Presley, Elvis and the Memphis Mafia, and Will the Circle be Un-
broken: Country Music in America.

Elvis and the Memphis Mafia

Alanna Nash, Billy Smith, Marty Lacker, and Lamar Fike
“You don’t need to be an Elvis fan to be awed by this book. It’s so detailed, gossipy, and
coherent that it becomes a clear window on an entire era. The book’s genius is the volume
of fresh and flowing information. . . . Nash is one of the finest, most perceptive chroniclers
and appraisers of pop music in America.” —Billboard
This vivid oral biography of Elvis Presley is based on the recollections of three members of the
Memphis Mafia, the entourage who accompanied Elvis every day, from 1956 to his death in 1977.
These were the men closest to Elvis, the ones who knew him best—Billy Smith, Elvis’ first cousin;
Marty Lacker, foreman of the Memphis Mafia; and Lamar Fike, who joined the army with Elvis.
Together, they offer rare insights into the greatest legend of them all, from the phenomenal suc-
cesses to the long, devastating decline. It is a uniquely revealing portrait of a tragic figure whose
immense talent changed the course of American music and culture. Alanna Nash writes for the
New York Times and Entertainment Weekly. She is the author of The Colonel: The Extraordinary
Story of Colonel Tom Parker and Elvis Presley, Elvis: From Memphis to Hollywood, and Will the

Simone was a precocious child with dreams of becoming the world’s first black classical soloist.
After a rejection from an elite New York conservatoire—a rejection she always believed stemmed
from the color of her skin—she began performing jazz, blues, and classical songs in a bar to fund
her music studies. In 1958 her rendition of the Gershwin standard “I Loves You Porgy” became
a Top 40 hit, and her subsequent debut album Little Girl Blue launched what would become an
extensive singing and songwriting career. Drawing on a wealth of original interviews with Simone’s
closest associates, this extraordinary biography follows her sparkling career as well as her pas-
sionate belief in racial equality that eventually led her to undergo self-imposed exile from Amer-
ica in 1970. Featuring rare photographs and a review of Simone’s more than 40 albums and
numerous hits, this is an extensive look at the complex and extremely talented diva. David Brun-
Lambert is a music writer.

The Tree Collector
The Life and Explorations of David Douglas
Ann Lindsay and Sid House
The only available biography of one of the world’s greatest botanical explorers.
David Douglas was one of the most important botanical collectors of all time. Thanks to his heroic,
often unimaginably arduous explorations, during which he collected and discovered more than
200 species, forests and gardens are immeasurably richer. Not only is the Douglas fir named after
him, but conifers such as the Sitka spruce, the Grand and Noble firs, and the Monterey pine were
introduced to Britain by him. Douglas, who grew up near Perth, Scotland, studied at the Botan-
ical Gardens in Glasgow under William Hooker, the greatest botanist of the 19th century. He made
his name through his remarkable excursions of western Canada—once walking nearly 10,000 miles
between the Pacific coast and Hudson Bay.
A Fortunate Life
Paddy Ashdown
The honest and upfront autobiography of the man who helped heal Bosnia.
No other British political leader of the postwar generation has led a life as varied, adventurous,
and dramatic as Paddy Ashdown. In this sprawling autobiography that addresses his years in pol-
itics, he writes with authority about topics as diverse as tracking down infiltrating Indonesian forces
in the jungles of Sarawak; landing a raiding party from a submerged submarine; the difficulties of
learning Chinese; negotiating with Tony Blair; and bringing stability to a country wracked by civil
war. This is the self-portrait of a man who has lived life to the fullest for the benefit of a nation.
Paddy Ashdown was the High Representative for Bosnia-Herzegovina for nearly four years. He is
the author of several books, including The Ashdown Diaries and Swords and Ploughshares.

The Survivor
Tony Blair in Peace and War
Francis Beckett and David Hencke
An investigative “warts-and-all” biography of Britain’s former Prime Minister.

Admired in the U.S., and grudgingly respected in the EU, Tony Blair seems to bounce back from
any crisis or scandal with aplomb. Having rebranded the Labour Party, he took Britain into a war
in Iraq, provoking hostility both at home and abroad; yet he sailed through to win a historic third
term in office. He has since bagged the Olympics for London and steadied the country after the
2005 London bombings. Biographer Francis Beckett and Guardian correspondent David Hencke
have produced the most revealing portrait yet of a man whose enormous charm conceals a driv-
ing ambition, an almost messianic conviction that he is right, and above all, a remarkable ability
to survive.

of the biggest airlines in Europe and has led the way in web-based ticket sales. This is a full account
of easyJet’s business success, the flamboyant stunts it has used to gain an advantage on its competi-
tors, and the wider social changes its cheap flights have brought about. Lois Jones is the author of

Ryanair
The Full Story of the Controversial Low-Cost Airline
Updated edition
Siobhán Creaton
“Pacy and engaging . . . takes an informed look at the phenomenon that is Ryanair . . .
skillfully sketches set-piece confrontations and their backgrounds.” —Irish Times
“A dramatic story about the making of one of the world’s most recognized brands.”
—Sunday Business Post
“This savvy, hugely readable book is measured and fair-minded, regaling us with O’Leary’s
. . . verbal discretions without detracting from his achievements.” —Financial Times
The supercharged growth of this low-cost airline has actually changed the way countless people
live their lives, whether it be Ireland’s new “Ryanair Generation” for whom its cheap flights to
Dublin have eliminated much permanent emigration to the UK, or the thousands of Britons now
enabled to buy holiday homes in rural France. This is the first book to tell the full story of the
Ryanair phenomenon, from its inauspicious beginnings to its current dominance, from the se-
cret of its business strategy to its cavalier stunts and practices. Ryanair employees past and pres-
ent, were interviewed as were its top management and those at its major rivals such as British
Airways and easyJet, to produce an authoritative, objective, and compulsive account of one of
the most colorful companies in Europe. With Ryanair continuing to expand, the battle for the
low-cost airline market in Europe becoming ever more cutthroat, and chief executive Michael
O’Leary happy to do battle with everyone from airports (for their landing charges) to his own
pilots (over pay and conditions)—and generate an endless stream of PR and news stories in the
process—this edition is fully updated to take account of all Ryanair’s most recent history. Siob-
hán Creaton is a journalist and a former finance correspondent for the Irish Times.

ing together theology, mythology, economics, ecology, history, poetics, and politics,
this is an extraordinary case study of a radical new philosophy of community, spirit,
and place. Alastair McIntosh is a Scottish academic and activist. A fellow of the Cen-

Drinking for England

The Great English Drinkers and Their Times
Fergus Linnane
Featuring a cast of kings, prelates, writers, and more, this is a well-researched
and entertaining look at some of history’s best drinkers and the society that
bred them.
This meticulously researched and compelling account tours the ale houses, inns,
bars, taverns, and palaces of England to tell the extraordinary story of the Eng-
lish addiction to the bottle through the lives—and often wild times—of individ-
uals who frequented them. At a masquerade party given by James I for the King
of Denmark, for instance, a noblewoman playing the Queen of Sheba collapsed
at the royal guest’s feet; George IV passed out while dancing at a party and vom-
ited on the floor; William Pitt the Younger was once sick behind the Speaker’s
chair in the House of Commons; and Francis Bacon’s hangovers were considered
a stimulus to his work. Filled with ribaldry and mirth, this is an intriguing and
original look into the history of the nation’s favorite pastime. Fergus Linnane is
the author of six other histories on England, including London: The Wicked City
and London’s Underworld.

Voyage of the Damned

A Shocking True Story of Hope, Betrayal and Nazi Terror
Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan-Witts
Revealing the extraordinary story of the SS St. Louis as she set sail from Hamburg in 1939
with a cargo of 937 German Jews seeking asylum from Nazi persecution, this horrifying ac-
count documents the trails of those unfortunate travelers as they desperately sought sanctu-
ary on the high seas—while the entire world looked on. Describing how, unknown to the captain
and crew, the ship was populated by the dreaded Gestapo, this incredible tale narrates the ex-
periences of the refugees on board and their struggles to survive—denied entry as either tourists
or political asylum seekers in the ports of Cuba, America, and Canada—before being even-
tually forced to return to Europe and an uncertain fate. Highlighting the extreme cruelty and
propaganda machine of the German SS, the indecisiveness of neighboring countries on the
brink of the next Great War, and the desperate attempts to survive by those trapped at sea,
this strange and terrifying journey into the dark history of World War II is a remarkable human
document of great historical value. Gordon Thomas is the award-winning author of several
books, including Gideon’s Spies, and Robert Maxwell: Israel’s Superspy.

The Desert War
The Classic Trilogy on the North Africa Campaign 1940-43
Alan Moorehead
Covering the North Africa campaign in 1940, this acclaimed account of the tussle between
Montgomery’s Eight Army and Rommel’s Afrika Corps is a remarkable account of one of
the most complicated and epic stand-offs in the history of World War II. Beautifully docu-
mented and historically relevant, Moorehead’s celebrated insight that tank battles in the desert
reflected battles at sea—the lumbering tanks like ships lost in a vast ocean of sand—and the
breadth and penetration of his vision that encompasses the whole panorama of war, illus-
trate why this account is considered to be the definitive reference of the African campaigns.
From describing the soldier stubbing out his cigarette before going into action to the expression
on a tank commander’s face as he is hit, this poetically scribed documentation is a thorough
and fascinating journey into one of history’s most pivotal war campaigns. Alan Moorehead
(1910–1983) was a war correspondent who contributed to the New Yorker. His other clas-
sic titles include Gallipoli, The Blue Nile, and The White Nile.

Alamein
Stephen Bungay
For Great Britain, there were two pivotal battles in the Second World War. One was the
Battle of Britain. The other was El Alamein. There, in October 1942, in a remote part of
the desert between Libya and Egypt, the British army won an epic battle of attrition with
Rommel’s Afrika Korps. It was a defeat from which Rommel would never recover and a
turning point in the war, famously celebrated by Churchill as “the end of the beginning”—
the line in the sand that Hitler’s forces were never able to cross. Like his definitive his-
tory of the Battle of Britain, The Most Dangerous Enemy, Stephen Bungay’s Alamein is
a trenchant reexamination of an event that has been cloaked in myth.

The Dieppe Raid
The Story of the Disastrous 1942 Expedition
Robin Neillands
Documenting one of World War II’s most controversial campaigns, this decisive guide pro-
vides an in-depth view of how, a full two years before D-Day, thousands of men—mostly
Canadian troops eager for their first taste of battle—were deployed across the Channel
in a poorly organized raid on the French port town of Dieppe. Revealing that air supremacy
had not been secured, and that the topography of the town and its near-impenetrable sur-
roundings were impossible to overcome, this startling account presents allegations of a
dark conspiracy that resulted in the utter carnage of the attempted invasion—with entire
regiments literally decimated before the troops had reached the shores. Striving to reveal
the facts behind the myths, and debating whether the invasion was an attempt to prove
to the Americans—at the expense of many Canadian lives—the impracticality of staging
the Normandy landings for another two years, this intriguing volume is an invaluable re-
source for those captivated by the path of military history. Robin Neillands is the author
of The Battle of Normandy, The Bomber War, Eighth Army, and The Old Contemptibles.

Cassino: The Hollow Victory

The Battle for Rome January–June 1944
John Ellis
“Scholarly, well-written, and balanced in its judgment.”

—New York Times Book Review
The struggle to capture Monte Cassino, the impregnable heights barring the Allied advance on Rome
in 1944, was the longest land battle fought in Western Europe in World War II and among the most
costly. In four separate assaults over the course of the grim six-month epic, more than 105,000
men from the Allied armies and at least 80,000 Germans became casualties and, between the at-
tacks, the armies of both sides endured conditions of appalling privation. In John Ellis’ classic ac-
count of the battle, few of the Allied commanders, except for the Free French General Juin, emerge
with credit. But the author has nothing but admiration and compassion for the courage and en-
durance of the common soldiers whose experiences he vividly recreates in the pages of this narra-
tive. John Ellis is the author of Brute Force, Eye-Deep in Hell, The Social History of the Machine
Gun, and The World War II Databook, and the coauthor of The World War I Databook.

The Sharp End

The Fighting Man in World War II
John Ellis
Introduction by Max Hastings
Originally published in 1980, this classic work of military history is reissued with a specially
commissioned introduction by one of today’s most distinguished historians, Sir Max Hastings.
In any army, it is only a minority of men who end up as combat soldiers, at the “sharp end”
where they have to shoot and be shot at, but it is, of course, their experiences which are the
most intense and which tell us most directly what war is actually like. The testimony of men
who fought with the British, Commonwealth, and American armies in all theaters of World War
II, from Western Europe to Burma and from North Africa to the Pacific, is collected in this vol-
ume. These eyewitness accounts explain how they were trained, the different landscapes and
climates in which they fought, their attitudes and aspirations, how they relaxed when they were
out of the line, and, above all, how they reacted to the experience of battle. John Ellis is the au-
thor of Brute Force, Eye-Deep in Hell, The Social History of the Machine Gun, and The World
War II Databook, and the coauthor of The World War I Databook. Max Hastings is an award-
winning journalist whose titles include Armageddon: The Battle for Germany, The Korean War,
and Retribution: The Battle for Japan.

To the Last Round
The Epic British Stand on the Imjin River, Korea 1951
Andrew Salmon
Unraveling the chain of events that led to one of the most startling military encounters during
the Korean War, this exhaustive account details how the Cold War abruptly ended with the Com-
munist invasion of South Korea and explains in full the disastrous results that followed. Fo-
cusing on the inspirational story of Britain’s 29th Infantry Brigade, this fascinating documentation
details China’s shock entry into the war, the panic experienced by UN forces as they were forced
to retreat in sub-zero temperatures, the intense battle and hand-to-hand combat, and the near-
decimation of British troops. Filled with exclusive interviews of the surviving veterans of every
unit engaged—including those who survived for more than two years as POWs in grim North
Korean prison camps—this is the true story of a handful of the men who remained at their posts,
held off an army from their foxholes, and astonished the world with their courage and resolve.
As the only account devoted exclusively to this now-legendary action, this remarkable narra-
tive is an essential and historically invaluable resource for those interested in military history.

Fame and Fortune
Frederic Raphael
Fame and Fortune is the long-awaited continuation of Frederic Raphael’s bestselling novel The
Glittering Prizes, which followed a generation of Cambridge graduates into the academic and
media world of the 1960s. In this new book, successful novelist and screenwriter Adam Morris,
now in his late forties, remains the central character, but many of his contemporaries continue
to feature in his life. These include the ambitious and endlessly scheming movie director Mike
Clode; the Australian-born TV star Alan Parks, who now seems to front every other serious or
semi-serious program on TV; and Joyce Hadleigh, whose career on TV Alan has fostered—just
as years earlier, at Cambridge, he fathered her child whom Dan Bradley, now a primary school
headmaster in Wandsworth, raised as his own. The vivid complexity of Fame and Fortune re-
flects not only the nature of London life in the era of Margaret Thatcher but also the changing
attitudes and lifestyles of a younger generation. Adam and his wife Barbara find themselves faced
with the defection of their son, Tom, to a Christian sect that leads him to drop out of university
and desert his family a situation that is compounded, with disconcerting consequences, when
their beautiful, successful daughter Rachel meets Adam’s college friend Bill Bourne, the son of
a scouse docker, now a professor in California. In varying ways, the other characters too dis-
cover the fragility of the success and happiness they had enjoyed, as violence and death play cruel,
sudden parts in their lives. Frederic Raphael is the author of more than 20 novels, five volumes
of short stories, and biographies of Byron and W. Somerset Maugham.

A Novel
Bernard Shrimsley
“Raucous tabloid satire.” —Independent

Jack Stack is an editor with the full-blown tabloid virus. He says “bollocks” a lot and his head-
line signature is a “double ejaculation mark.” He revels in Fleet Street’s nonstop silly season
of hunting down young royals and petrifying cabinet members. He even outsmarts the Palace,
prime minister, and proprietor to win a knighthood for “services to journalism” at the hand
of the sovereign whose family he has comprehensively shafted. When Jack takes over the be-
leaguered Mercury, within a day he transforms the formerly respectable newspaper into the
most tabloid of all tabloids. His cut-the-crap management style has the old guard trembling
in its boots, but has he met his match in the domineering Marina Marshall, the chairman’s
mistress and the canniest columnist in Fleet Street? Perfect for an era obsessed with celebrity
and spin, this is a beautifully crafted, laugh-out-loud novel written by an insider who has seen
it all. Bernard Shrimsley has been editor of the Mail on Sunday, News of the World, and the

Read by millions, British comics are world-famous. And for more than a quarter of a cen-
tury, Britain’s writers and artists have had a significant influence on the American comic-
book scene, revitalizing standards from Batman to X-Men and originating uniquely British
characters of their own, such as Modesty Blaise and the League of Extraordinary Gentle-
men. Now, in a feast of cartoon graphics, Great British Comics celebrates the UK’s comic
heroes, offering an invaluable resource for enthusiasts and collectors. Divided into themed
chapters, and ranging from the 1920s to the 1990s, it charts the careers of all the familiar
favorites. Featuring lively, informative text, Great British Comics is copiously illustrated with
comic book covers, pages, and annuals, as well as toys, collectibles, and memorabilia. Paul
Gravett is a writer, a curator, a lecturer, a broadcaster, a journalist, and the author of Graphic
Novels: Everything You Need to Know. He and Peter Stansbury are the coauthors of The
Leather Nun: And Other Incredibly Strange Comics and Manga: Sixty Years of Japanese Comics.

The Leather Nun

And Other Incredibly Strange Comics
Paul Gravett and Peter Stanbury
Entertaining, erotic, and utterly surreal, this eclectic collection is a delirious collage of the

result of a trawl of the strangest comics worldwide. Containing titles such as Barnyard of
Fear, Chaplains at War, Amputee Love, and Cannibal Romance, these bizarre tales are not
for the faint of heart. Alongside each comic is a colorful double-page spread and an in-

they’ve seen it all. Paul Gravett is a writer, a curator, a lecturer, a broadcaster, a journalist,

Alan Coren
“Not just a funny writer, but a comic genius.” —Observer

“The funniest writer in Britain today . . . the undisputed guvnor.” —Sunday Times
“Mr. Coren has a wildness and an astringency all his own.” —New Yorker
Recently returned from the dead, Alan Coren finds that the world has changed little in his absence:
children still turn to Winston Churchill to save them from school dinners; Clark Gable snuggles—
as ever—against the bristly chest of his lover Errol Flynn (despite having been captured on video
by the entire British delegation of a Hong Kong sales conference); and hysterectomies continue to
be performed by enthusiastic poulterers. As for Coren himself, despite bearing the distinguished
rank of full colonel in the Confederate Air Force, he remains plagued by recurring nightmares that
his membership of the P. G. Wodehouse Society has been poached by a Polish imposter in spats.
England’s best-loved humorist finds time to explain why Cannon & Ball have relaunched them-
selves as Pride & Prejudice; to work out that if J. K. Rowling had put all her Harry Potter income
on Archer’s Folly in the 3.15 at Haydock Park she would be richer than Bill Gates; and to reveal
exactly why he took Princess Michael of Kent to see the smuttiest statue in London. Alan Coren is the author of more than 30
books of humor for adults and children and writes a weekly column for the Times.

Complete Cockney Rabbit

The Ultimate Dick ‘n’ Arry of Rhyming Slang
Ray Puxley
George the Third may have been a great monarch but in this book, well, let’s just say you wouldn’t
want him on your carpet. Stephen Fry may occupy a top place in the acting and writing professions,
but in this production he must settle for a spot in a pie and mash shop. Other strange bedfellows in-
clude Donald Trump, Brad Pitt, and Egon Ronay, who are often found in the Frank Zappa. Country
singer Patsy Cline (line) and racing driver Niki Lauder (powder) get up people’s noses and the less said
about James Blunt and Paul Anka the better! Ray Puxley, a true cockney lad himself, provides an ex-
pert guide through the streets of this sparkling, cheeky, and occasionally outrageous language. Not
only is this a “dick ’n’ arry” (dictionary) of slang, but origins, dates, and relevant trivia that place the
phrase in context are explained, as well as a fascinating introduction on the origins of slang. You’ll
probably recognize lots of words that you use but don’t realize that their origin is in rhyming slang,
such as “Toe-Rag.” With The Complete Cockney Rabbit you can’t go Pete Tong so make a cup of sweet
pea and a slice of Sexton Blake and settle down and enjoy this fascinating volume. Ray Puxley is also
the author of Britslang, Cockney Slang, Fresh Rabbit, and More Cockney Rabbit.

Alex Steuart Williams and Graham Francis Defries
“The perfect gift for the lawyer in your life.” —Independent

Les Dawson’s Secret Notebooks
Selected by Tracy Dawson
Les Dawson was the comedian’s comedian, a man with a massive following in his lifetime who
has become a true cult hero. Who can forget the out-of tune piano playing, the mother-in-law
jokes, and his trademark fast-fire gags and routines? Collected by Les’s wife, Tracy, this treasure
trove of unseen and previously unpublished Les Dawson material was culled from his notebooks
and diaries. Les’s determination to hone his material is clear from the boxes of handwritten gags
and routines he left behind, each page funnier and more outrageous than the next. Heading after
heading is followed by pages of one-liners as well as inventive letters, radio and television rou-
tines, silly drawings, and crazy, off-the-wall stories. Additionally, there are Les’s often poignant
diary entries from the early days when he was a Hoover salesman struggling to make it on stage.
This is a rich and fabulous feast indeed, and one that will be devoured by Les Dawson’s count-
less fans. Tracy married Les Dawson in 1989.

Things Politicians Wish They Hadn’t Said
Matthew Parris and Phil Mason
An irresistible and side-splitting collection of the greatest political miscues of all time from
the duo who brought you Read My Lips.
It is amazing how often politicians’ most public words come back to haunt them. George W. Bush
once quipped, “I have opinions of my own—strong opinions—but I don’t always agree with them,”
while Richard Nixon famously called the funeral of President Georges Pompidou “a great day
for France.” This priceless treasure trove of verbal blunders, indiscretions, regrettable promises,
about-turns, deceptions, lies, and just plain stupidity highlights the very best political missteps
of all time. Ranging across the centuries and the globe, this salutary and hugely funny book is
completely up-to-date with all the immortal lines our leaders have made into classics. Matthew
Parris is a former politician and a columnist for the Times. His previous titles include Great Par-
liamentary Scandals, Heroes and Villains, and Off Message. Phil Mason is the author of several
joke collections, including Church Chuckles and Out of the Mouth of Babes. They are the coau-
thors of Read My Lips.

Not Many Dead

Sensational, Sizzling and Soaraway Pieces of Non-News
Oldie magazine
This hilarious compendium of news items reveals how often national newspapers feel obliged
to pass on the most boring and banal information about nothing significant. Sometimes, it is
the endless diet of news about celebrities, in which the minutest fact is deemed worthy of in-
terest. Other times—as in the theft of two packets of peanuts from a building site in Dews-
bury—the news item says something about the prevalence of crime in sleepy areas. And sometimes,
as in the BBC website’s revelation that people could save money by switching off electrical de-
vices, the non-news says a great deal about the redundancy of many statistical surveys. From
Lech Walesa shaving off his moustache to the bending of a Skoda’s windscreen wiper in
Brightlingsea, here is the ultimate collection of heart-stopping and world-changing news. The
Oldie is a monthly magazine launched in 1992 by Richard Ingrams, who for 23 years was the
editor of Private Eye. It carries general interest articles, humor and cartoons, and has an eclec-
tic list of contributors.

Stephen Moss’s Birdwatch column for the Guardian has over the years included nos-
talgic reminiscences on birdwatching as a child, accounts of birding expeditions to
places as far-flung as St. Kilda and even Antarctica, stories of birding on his honey-
moon in Gambia, details on the birds at his garden feeder, and the recent introduc-
tion of his toddler son to birds. Now, the best of these Birdwatch columns are collected
into a beautiful miniature hardback, tastefully designed and illustrated with line draw-
ings, and together they build into a touching and fascinating chronicle of how one
person’s hobby has endured and evolved and in turn enriched a whole life. Stephen
Moss is the author of A Bird in the Bush, Garden Birds, and Remarkable Birds.

A Bird in the Bush

A Social History of Birdwatching
Stephen Moss
Stephen Moss’s book is the first to trace the history and development of birdwatch-
ing on both sides of the Atlantic, from Gilbert White, the country parson who wrote
The Natural History of Selborne in the 18th century, through the British servicemen
who studied black redstarts from their German prisoner-of-war camp, to today’s driven
“life-listers” and twisters who think nothing of hurtling the length of the UK by planes,
automobiles, and even boats in pursuit of a Grey-Tailed Tattler temporarily landfallen
in the Shetland Isles. Both authoritative and readable, A Bird in the Bush is directed
at the general reader just as much as the dedicated birder. Stephen Moss is the author
of Garden Birds, Remarkable Birds, and This Birding Life.

Drawing on more than two decades of experience, one of Britain’s most distinguished landscape
photographers presents a collection of thought-provoking essays accompanied by a selection
of stunning imagery. Containing a diverse array of picturesque landscapes ranging from North
Yorkshire, the rocky canyons of the Colorado Plateau, the rugged Cornish coast, and the stun-
ning rainforests of New Zealand’s Fjordland, this incredible visual collage reflects the philo-
sophical intent behind each spectacular image. Revealing the technical considerations for each
image—including light, weather, timing, composition, what dictated the choice of viewpoint,
and selection of film and filters—this analytical yet deeply personal account is replete with prac-
tical advice for photographers of all skill levels, and a remarkable visual journey to some of
the most beautiful locations in the world. Joe Cornish is an accomplished international pho-

Landscape Beyond
A Journey into Photography
David Ward
Foreword by Joe Cornish
Critically acclaimed photographer David Ward explores the essential attributes of a successful
landscape photograph—simplicity, ambiguity, and beauty—in this intriguing companion to his
first book, Landscape Within. David discusses how the notion of beauty has been viewed by
artists and psychologists and how, despite various modifications over the centuries, the con-
cept of beauty remains relevant. David suggests that all photographers’ work either poses a
question or seeks to impose the photographer’s viewpoint, and he goes on to investigate how
photography affects our interpretation of the world around us. Accompanied by a selection of
David’s stunning, large-format landscape images, this is an elegant and insightful look into the
nature of photography. David Ward is a well-known landscape photographer who writes reg-
ularly for Outdoor Photography magazine. His previous book was Landscape Within, and he
is the coauthor of Working the Light. Joe Cornish’s images have been featured in books such
as Scotland’s Coast and Working the Light as well as in photography magazines, including Am-
ateur Photographer and Outdoor Photography.

Landscape Within
Insights and Inspirations for Photographers
David Ward
While no photographer would deny the importance of mastering the technicalities
of the craft, most would agree that true satisfaction comes from using technique to
realize more profound, creative goals. In this book, landscape photographer David
Ward investigates the goals of photography and how they can best be achieved. He
is concerned, primarily, with the nature of creativity as it is experienced and prac-
ticed by photographers, and with the thought processes that go into making an image
that aspires to be a work of art. In exploring these issues, and in drawing on his own
superb work, he has produced a book that goes far beyond the “how to” manual,
addressing questions that, though rarely asked, go to the heart of every photogra-
pher’s ambitions. David Ward has been a fine-art landscape photographer for more
than 20 years; his work has appeared in many publications, including Outdoor Pho-
tographer and Amateur Photographer. Joe Cornish’s images have been featured in
books such as Scotland’s Coast and Working the Light as well as in photography
magazines, including Amateur Photographer and Outdoor Photography.

Concepts of Nature
A Wildlife Photographer’s Art
Andy Rouse
From eagles and elephants to kingfishers and kudu, one of the world’s greatest
wildlife photographers presents a portfolio of his most memorable images, along
with recollections of how he took the pictures and what they mean to him.
Andy Rouse has gained a reputation for getting in close, really close, to his subjects,
which range from lions and elephants in Africa to penguins in Antarctica, taking in
a whole host of African, European, and North American wildlife on the way. The first
part of his book, “Visions,” presents the photographs, many never before published,
which he feels were the landmarks in his career and in his development from a “one
big shot” specialist to an artist who can capture the whole story of a species and its
environment. Next, in “Expression,” he discusses and illustrates the ideas and tech-
niques that have enabled him to create a series of themed portfolios devoted to a sin-
gle species or ecosystem, such as those he made in South Georgia and Antarctica. Finally,
in “Inspiration,” he turns to the work of other wildlife photographers who have in-
spired and influenced him. There is also an appendix with technical details of the in-
dividual photographs. For aspiring wildlife photographers, this book will be a
motivation, showing just what can be achieved with skill, patience, and an extraor-
dinary eye for the telling and dramatic shot, and it will also be treasured by wildlife
enthusiasts. Andy Rouse has published a dozen books on photography and natural his-
tory, including Animal Portraits, Lonely Planet Wildlife Photography, and Penguin Life.

Wings Over the World
Tales from the Golden Age of Air Travel
Tom Quinn
Nowadays air travel is as routine as catching a bus. But before the war, it was truly
extraordinary. A giant Handley-Page biplane bound for Paris, bouncing along Croy-
don Aerodrome’s grass runway, meant seat belts were primarily needed before take-
off. Africa by Empire flying boat was a five-day aerial voyage via lakes that had to be
cleared of hippos before touchdown. On a wartime Boeing flying boat crossing the
Atlantic, the navigator plotted his course by the stars. Now, historian Tom Quinn records
the remarkable reminiscences of British pilots, navigators, stewardesses, and station
commanders. Abundantly illustrated with period posters, photos, and memorabilia,
this is stirring social history from the edge of living memory.

Aspects of Expression
Exploring the Art and Craft of Monochrome Photography
Paul Gallagher
A master photographer explains why monochrome is a uniquely expressive medium
for image-makers, why seeing in monochrome is different from seeing in color, and
what it is about monochrome that allows it to express such powerful emotions.
Paul Gallagher looks back on the first 20 years of a lifetime’s work dedicated to cre-
ating monochrome prints, and forward to the way in which the medium is likely to de-
velop in the future. He discusses the ways in which monochrome photographers have
used darkroom techniques to refine and enhance their images, and the ways in which
such techniques have been used to change the mood of a photograph and to increase
its emotional impact. He also asks whether new digital technology points the way for-

Creating Exhibition-Quality Digital Prints

A Photographer’s Guide to Developing RAW Files
and Optimising Print Quality
Tim Daly
Unconventional and handcrafted methods, rather than straight digital pro-
cessing, to create eye-catching final exhibition prints.
Focusing on using digital techniques to replicate the traditional darkroom
methods used to produce fine, exhibition-quality prints, Tim Daly takes the
raw digital file as his starting point and illustrates a wide range of techniques
for drawing out the very best version of the latent file. Illustrated withstep-
by-step projects, showing each stage from start to finish, and driven by a pho-
tographic aesthetic rather than straight software techniques, this guide shows
how to deliver eye-catching prints in a wide range of styles, sizes, and loca-
tions. Case studies, which follow the entire process from raw file to final print,
helping readers understand how to develop a personalized printing style using
Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and professional digital output are also in-
cluded. Tim Daly is the author of numerous digital photography guides, in-

BETTER DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY GUIDES
Michael Busselle
The Better Digital Photography Guides are aimed at amateur photographers who want to explore the
potential of digital technology to improve the quality and range of their work, be it snapshots of family
activities, records of their travels, landscapes, portraits, or still-lifes. Master photographer Michael Busselle
breaks down the image-making process into three phases: Capture, Enhance, and Print. While his stunning
photographs educate through visual inspiration, his clear step-by-step text simplifies all the procedures.

to Landscapes, Seas and Skies
To landscape photographers, digital offers previously undreamed of possibilities for en-
hancing their work or eliminating snags that were not apparent at the time a pictures
was taken. Telegraph lines can be removed, skies can be improved, and light and shadow
effects that didn’t quite work can be strengthened. In short, photographers have a sec-
ond chance to produce a print that more fully reflects the vision they had in mind at the
point of capture. Each of Michael Busselle’s stunning images, which demonstrate digital
techniques to improve their work, is accompanied by instructions broken down into three
phases—Capture, Enhance, and Print—which explain his original intentions and the ways
in which they were finally realized. Inspired by these examples, amateurs will quickly
discover the immense creative possibilities opened up by the new technology.

to Special Effects and Photo-Art
Nowhere is the potential of digital photography greater than in the fields of special ef-
fects and photo-art. Sitting in front of their PCs or Macs, photographers can now easily
manipulate their digital images to achieve effects that, using traditional film-based pho-
tography, could only be attempted by experienced printmakers with years of darkroom
experience. And, if one experiment doesn’t work, they can go back and try a different tack
with a few clicks of the mouse. Each of Michael Busselle’s striking images, which he uses
to demonstrate the almost limitless range of effects that can be achieved, are accompa-
nied by instructions that show the reader, step by step, exactly how the effect was achieved.

The intrinsic beauty and creative potential of the lith printing process is ac-
cessible to anyone who has access to a darkroom. This technique requires
only special developers that are readily available and cost no more than con-
ventional materials. This is the first step-by-step book on this exciting ap-
proach to print making. Written by Tim Rudman, the acknowledged master
of this process, the book is aimed at all levels from first time lith printer to
the advanced darkroom worker. Tim Rudman, a Fellow of the Royal Pho-
tographic Society of Great Britain, is also the author of The World of Lith

The World of Lith Printing

The Best of Traditional Darkroom and Digital Lith
Printing Techniques
Tim Rudman
Tim Rudman’s first book on lith printing, The Master Photographer’s Lith
Printing Course, is recognized as the definitive work on the subject, explor-
ing the process’s ability to produce strongly graphic or exquisitely delicate
prints that respond beautifully to toning. Since it was first published, there
have been significant developments in both the materials and techniques for
traditional lith printing, as well as the introduction of digital methods either
to simulate the process or to further expand its creative potential. This book
includes work by the world’s leading practitioners, showing what can be
achieved by adopting different approaches to lith printing, both traditional
and digital, as well as explaining how the various effects have been achieved.

The Austerity Olympics
When the Games Came to London in 1948
Janie Hampton
Introduction by Sebastian Coe
“An enthralling account.” —Independent

As the financial crisis puts a stranglehold on credit and funding, the upcoming 2012 Olympics in
London already look to fall well short of their current budget. Fortunately, London has been through
just such hard times before in the run-up to an Olympics, and in 1948 it showed how to run a fan-
tastic event on a tiny budget. This thrilling history of the last Olympics in London is a tale of fe-
male competitors sewing their own kit, teams ferried to events on red London buses and billeted
in Spartan hostels or even army camps, and the main stadium being hastily cleared of greyhound
racing to allow the athletics to take place. The total budget was a shockingly low £760,000, and
great athletes like Emil Zatopek and Fanny Blankers-Koen thrilled the crowds nonetheless. Janie
Hampton is the author of Joyce Grenfell. Sebastian Coe is the chief of the 2012 London Olympics.

The Complete Book of the Olympics

2008 Edition
David Wallechinsky and Jaime Loucky
Now updated to include the results of the 2004 Athens Games and full descriptions of rules
and scoring for every event in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, along with hundreds of anecdotes—
heroic, astonishing, amusing, and bizarre—and lore from 108 years of Olympic history, this
is the essential companion to the greatest sports festival in the world.
With a complete statistical record since the 1896 founding of the modern Games—including medals
won and times, distances, or scores recorded by the top eight competitors in all events (from sta-
ples such as the marathon to long-discontinued competitions such as the tug of war), this ency-
clopedic tome contains anything anyone could ever need or want to know about the modern Olympic
Games. Far from a dry compendium of names, numbers, and scoring systems, this book also con-
tains a summary history of every event at each of the 26 modern Games, enriched with an ex-
traordinary wealth of Olympic lore and anecdotes. The authors provide thought-provoking analysis
of issues and controversies from shamateurism to drug-taking and corruption, and they have sieved
through more than a century of Olympic history to assemble a mind-boggling collection of sto-
ries that range from the inspiring, through the comic, to the bizarre. David Wallechinsky was in-
troduced to the Olympics when his father, the novelist Irving Wallace, took him to the 1960 Games
in Rome. He has since produced seven editions of this book plus, in collaboration with Jaime Loucky,
four editions of its companion volume, The Complete Book of the Winter Olympics.

Olympic Follies
The Madness and Mayhem of the 1908 London Games: A Cautionary Tale
Graeme Kent
The London Olympics of 1908 was intended to reveal Britain and its empire at its zenith. Before
the games had ended, almost everything that could go wrong had, and the organizers were uni-
versally condemned. The games opened in the pouring rain, which was to continue for the en-
tirety of the two week event. At the opening ceremonies one country insisted that another march
under its banner, and another refused to dip its banner to King Edward, resulting in an uproar.
Decisions on competitions were questioned, contestants were accused of being professionals, a
rival dropped the shot of the shot-put on the foot of a competitor, and one contestant ended up
running a race alone. Amongst the chaos there were some outstanding athletic performances, but
these were far overshadowed by disputes, backbiting, disqualifications, and more. This is the su-
perb and entertaining tale of one of the most fascinating, unusual, and at times hilarious Games
ever held. Graeme Kent is the author of The Great White Hopes.

The career of the most magical soccer player of his generation is told through the newspaper
reports and features on him that appeared in the Guardian and the Manchester Evening News
from his first appearances for Manchester United as a teenage starlet, through the glory days
of the trouncing of Northampton and the European Cup win in 1968, to the long obituary
assessing his sad later decline. These compassionate, insightful pieces are written by numer-
ous famous—and unexpected—names, from Hugh McIllvanney to John Arlott. They reflect
Best’s sad destiny to become more famous for his indiscretions—his drinking, his affairs, his
absences-without-leave—than his soccer. They also trace his transformation from the willowy
Belfast boy who become a Manchester man through and through to the rotund and peripatetic
soccer gipsy who drifted from Fulham to the U.S. to Hibernian and even Dunstable Town,
and eventually into the sad alcoholic bar habitue in Chelsea.

Trouble and Takeover at the World’s Richest Football Club
Mihir Bose

But then star player David Beckham was sold to Real Madrid, record-buy Wayne Rooney de-
veloped an unenviable disciplinary and gambling record, and their inspirational defender Roy
Keane departed, apparently after a volcanic bust-up with Sir Alex Ferguson, who in 2004 him-
self fell out with the club’s two major shareholders over the jointly owned racehorse Rock of
Gibraltar. In 2005 the club succumbed to a controversial takeover by Malcolm Glazer, the Amer-
ican tycoon. United were eliminated from the lucrative Champions’ League, and beaten to the
Premiership by high-spending Chelsea. Now Mihir Bose tells the full story of how this sport-

Muhammad Ali, Angelo Dundee, and Sugar Ray Leonard

Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard had four major things in common: they both won an
Olympic Gold Medal, they were superlative boxers, they had charismatic personalities, and
they were both trained and managed by the legendary Angelo Dundee. An Italian-American
from south Philadelphia who fainted at the sight of his own blood, Dundee went on to be-

the ordinary. Drawing on personal interviews with the protagonists and numerous other box-
ing greats, this is an extraordinary look at three of the greatest individuals from the history

oirs, I Only Talk Winning.

Sonny Liston
His Life, Strife and the Phantom Punch
Rob Steen
The compelling story of the formidable world heavyweight champion who lost his title to
Cassius Clay in one of boxing’s most dramatic fights.
A major film on Liston’s life, entitled Phantom Punch starring Ving Rhames, is
due for release in 2009
The career of Charles “Sonny” Liston has attracted more debate and hostility than that of any
other master of the squared circle. Even now, there remain more questions than answers: How
much was he controlled and manipulated by underworld figures? When was he born and how
and why did he die? What is certain is Sony’s standing as one of the most formidable punch-
ers ever to enter the ring. Despite all the efforts of the boxing fraternity, he was finally allowed
to fight for the world title nine years after turning professional. Grasping his chance, he de-
posed Floyd Patterson with a first-round knockout, then repeated the dose a year later. He
was not seen as a suitable role model by the civil rights movement because of his criminal past,
and he was constantly pursued and badgered by the police, compelling him to move from state
to state in search of refuge. A larger than life character with a life of ups and downs, ending in
tragedy, this is a mesmerizing portrait of one of the most formidable boxers of all time. Rob Steen
is a freelance journalist and has written for the Independent on Sunday and the Financial Times.

The True Stories of Our Childhood Comic Heroes
Brendan Gallagher
When Brendan Gallagher wrote a feature on the Telegraph’s sports pages about his favorite sport-
ing comic heroes, the response from readers was unprecedented: hundreds of e-mails from nos-
talgic readers. Now he has turned his research and enthusiasm into a unique celebration of these
prodigious characters. He devotes separate chapters to the three greatest heroes: Wilson of the
Wizard; Alf Tupper, the “Tough of the Track;” and Roy of the Rovers. Then he covers the best
of the rest, including men like Skid Solo, Johnny Cougar, and Raven on the Wing. Here,
then, are such truly extraordinary feats as bowling out Australia twice in a day with 120mph
deliveries in a 1953 Ashes Test, a professional soccer player still playing in the top flight at
the age of around 75, not to mention running 20 miles cross-country in two hours to warn
the Duke of Wellington of Napoleon’s advance. Brendan Gallagher is a sports correspondent for
the Daily Telegraph.

The Duchesses
The Story of Britain’s Ultimate Steam Locomotives
Andrew Roden
Designed by the great William Stanier, the Duchess of Hamilton and Duchess of Sutherland steam
engines began service in the 1930s as the “Princess Coronation” class. They were the flagships of
the West Coast main line for the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway and were made to com-
pete with the famous streamlined “Pacific” class locomotives on the East Coast line. This is the en-
gaging story of the most powerful passenger locomotives to serve on the British Railways’ network
and the extraordinary saga of their preservation, eventual rescue, and their return to steam on the
main line. Andrew Roden is the author of Flying Scotsman.

Flying Scotsman
The Extraordinary Story of the World’s Most Famous Train
Andrew Roden
When the Golden Age of Steam is mentioned, one train leaps to mind above all others—the Fly-
ing Scotsman, Nigel Gresley’s elegant masterpiece of a locomotive, which broke the world speed
record in 1934 and has enthralled millions with its beauty and power. Uniquely, its postwar ca-
reer has been even more varied and exciting than the early triumphs. The twists and turns of the
tale are detailed here with the aid of numerous interviews with those involved with the Scotsman
over the years, the story of the train and all who have owned it and worked on it is brought alive.
Andrew Roden is the author of The Duchesses.

Mallard
How the “Blue Streak” Broke the World Speed Record
Don Hale
In July 1938, the superbly streamlined A4 Pacific class steam locomotive “Mallard” set a world speed
record of 126 miles per hour, a record that still stands. This engrossing history covers the rise of the Mal-
lard, a tale that goes back to the late 19th century when the rival railway companies first began to vie
with one another to set speed records. Above all, it focuses on the singular and larger-than-life charac-
ter of Sir Nigel Gresley, the Mallard’s designer and one of history’s most gifted engineers. Packed with
interviews with surviving crew members and their relatives, this account also provides an hour-by-hour
timeline of the first time the “Blue Steak” attempted to break the record and thunder into the record
books. Don Hale is the author of The Final Dive, Secrets of the Royal Detective, and Town Without Pity.

On the Rails
Two Centuries of Railways
Anthony Burton
March 2004 marked two centuries since the “Penydarren Engine,” designed by the great engineer
Richard Trevithick, hauled a 10-ton load over 9.5 miles of track in South Wales, making it the world’s
first railway locomotive. This photo-filled history traces the early development of the railways and
their subsequent spread over five continents during the course of the 19th century. It then goes on
to chart the quest for greater speed and luxury in the first half of the 20th century and the demise
of steam, culminating in today’s high-speed trains, like France’s TGV and Shanghai’s mag-lev train.
On the Rails also includes chapters on the visionary 19th-century railway contractors, the lives of
the working railwaymen, the great luxury trains, the epic feats of engineering that made possible
the likes of America’s transcontinental system, and the future prospects of the modern railway.

Guide to Walks in North-West Highlands
Chris Townsend
The North-West Highlands, including all the Scottish mainland north and west of the Great Glen
together with the Isle of Skye, is the last area in Britain that could truthfully be described as gen-
uinely wild. This guide to 24 of the finest walks in this gloriously lonely and often breathtak-
ingly beautiful landscape is aimed, not at climbers, who are already well catered for, but at walkers
who wish to enjoy the wild country and, while prepared to tackle rough terrain, do not neces-
sarily have the skills and equipment that may be needed on the higher hills. The walks, which
range from 6 to 17 miles (9.5 to 27 km) in length are mostly circular and in all cases begin and
end at sites with space for parking and access to public transport. Some of the routes, though by
no means all, run through land owned by the National Trust for Scotland. The landscapes through
which they pass range from the tightly packed hills and glens of Ardgour, Moidart, and Knoy-
dart in the south to the wild moors of the extreme north over which a few peaks like Suilven,
Canisp, and Quinag tower in splendid isolation. Chris Townsend guides his readers with an in-
fectious enthusiasm, sound advice, and knowledgeable observations of the wildlife and geology
of the Highlands. The book also includes a glossary of Gaelic and Scots words and an informa-
tion section listing organizations and websites that may be useful to visiting walkers.

The Bank Manager and the Holy Grail

Travels to the Weirder Reaches of Wales
Byron Rogers
Here is the story of Kaiser Wilhelm’s holiday in a small Welsh spa town shortly before the
outbreak of the Great War, and of the Welsh waxwork museum largely peopled by count-
less effigies of Prince Philip discarded by Madame Tussaud’s. There is the true story of how
a project to ensure the survival of the Welsh language came to involve the translation of porno-
graphic novels, and the equally true story of how Kurt Cobain came to meet Courtney Love—
in the one nightclub in Newport, South Wales. And then there is the utterly baffling tale of
how the Holy Grail temporarily came to be in the safe keeping of the manager of Lloyds
Bank in Aberystwyth.

Gadfly in Russia
Alan Sillitoe
From acclaimed novelist Alan Sillitoe, a humorous and poignant account of his travels into
the heart of Soviet Russia nearly four decades ago.
“There are few writers around who can rival Sillitoe when it comes to the complicated
business of noticing things.” —Literary Review
In an attempt to take a break from his writing career, in 1967 Alan Sillitoe set off in a boxy
blue Peugeot from Germany towards the then USSR. In Leningrad, despite his desire to travel
alone, he was provided with an official escort in the form of George Andjaparidze, who was
to become a fellow journeyman and friend. On their long drive into the heart of the country,
George and Alan encountered numerous police checks, spent late nights filled with vodka, and
inadvertently took part in a motor rally. This is a story of traveling, history, people, and places;
of the Nazis and perestroika; Pushkin and Tolstoy; the fight for freedom and the strong-armed
nature of the Soviet government. In the deceptively simple manner for which he is so well known,
Alan Sillitoe offers a fascinating account of his relationship with Russia, its people, and their
changing fortunes over the past 40 years. Alan Sillitoe was a member of the Angry Young Men
movement. He is the author of more than 40 works of prose, poetry, and drama and is best
known for his novels The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and Saturday Night and
Sunday Morning.

A Gleaming Landscape
A Hundred Years of the Guardian’s Country Diary
Martin Wainwright
“Wonderfully engaging, this is the perfect bedside book.” —Times Literary Supplement
Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Guardian‘s much-loved Country Diary column,
Martin Wainwright has compiled a collection of the best of a century’s writing, covering the
landscape of the whole of the United Kingdom, from Wales to Northern Ireland, Scotland to
Norfolk. The column has consistently attracted some of Britain’s best writers on natural his-
tory and the countryside: Jim Perrin the mountaineering writer, whose biography of Don
Whillans won the Boardman-Tasker Award, writes the dispatches from Snowdonia; Mark
Cocker, author of Birders, writes the Country Diary from Norfolk. There are also diaries writ-
ten by a leading Suffragette, one of Rupert Brooke’s mistresses, and even one of the Guardian’s
printers. Martin Wainwright has found diaries to reflect the changing of the countryside over
100 years—from the prevalence of owls in World War I trenches full of vermin to the plant
surveys of World War II bombsites. Martin Wainwright is an editor for the Guardian.

The Green Lane to Nowhere

The Life of an English Village
Byron Rogers
Byron Rogers moved to Blakesley, in Northamptonshire, long before fleeing the city for the coun-
try became everyone’s dream. Over the years, his “Village Voice” column in London’s Daily Tele-
graph observed his village’s gradual evolution from a place where people lived from cradle to
grave, into a dormitory haven for car-borne commuters. Now, in The Green Lane to Nowhere,
his touching, frequently hilarious chronicle can be enjoyed by a wider audience. Here is the
Methodist chapel that became an auto showroom, the summer gala where the author bought
his neighbor’s shirts, his elevation to heady civic responsibility as Warden of the Paths, and the
pathos of the village’s oldest resident finally having to quit her ancestral home. It is an enchanting
book that will appeal to anyone who has ever dreamed of leaving the metropolis behind. Byron
Rogers is the author of An Audience with an Elephant.

Petra
Jane Taylor
Petra, the “rose-red city” carved out of rock in the mountains of southern Jordan, is one
of the most extraordinary survivors of the ancient world. Created by the Nabataeans, a
people whose origins still remain mysterious, Petra boasts monuments to rival those of clas-
sical Greece and Rome. Indeed, the achievements of its builders were all the more impres-
sive because this was a city created in one of the most barren places on earth. Jane Taylor’s
glorious photographs do full justice to the city, as does her lucid text, which charts the his-
tory of Petra as well as its rich store of archaeological sites. Today, Petra is a major tourist
attraction, and those who plan to visit, if only from the comfort of their armchairs, could
find no better guide than Jane Taylor.

Brian Wilton
Ranging from Mary Queen of Scots to Alexander McQueen, this is a lively and com-
prehensive guide to 400 tartans, fully illustrated in color and rich in Scottish his-
tory and lore. Internationally popular and worn by everyone from Madonna to the
Royal Family, tartan is the very symbol of Scottishness. In this fascinating book,
world expert Brian Wilton traces tartan back to its roots, looking at how and where
the various clan tartans began and showing how it has spread across the world.
Arranged in geographical sections, the book showcases more than 400 tartans, ex-
plaining how they were created, what they signify, and when and by whom they
are worn. Alongside the classic Scottish tartans—each depicted in full color—are
other examples of tartans from around the world. Accompanying sidebars discuss
the wider history and role of tartans, with illustrations that include paintings, en-
gravings, and modern celebrity photos. Brian Wilton is director of the Scottish Tar-
tans Authority.

Byron Rogers
“Byron Rogers’ literary ramblings take him from Hollywood, where he mingles with
the likes of Burt Lancaster and Rita Hayworth, to Cap d’Agde, France, which lays
claim to creating the world’s first nudist colony. Along the way, he colorfully describes
the weird and wonderful things he encounters . . . Rogers uses language the way artists
use brushes; with a few careful strokes, he paints a picture that invites readers to be
dazzled by the humor and simplicity lying within. Comic book collectors, the truth
about the American West, and, yes, Osci Tabak, the last of the human cannonballs . . .
readers will find themselves savoring every visit to Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood.”

A collection of travel pieces, this book contains a remarkable array of quirky, whimsical and
singular individuals. Including such characters as the pensioner on a Saga holiday who de-
cided to swim across the Amazon, this book sees the author meeting a number of undeni-
ably famous people—Hollywood stars, legends of children's radio serials he had idolized in
childhood, and even rock stars such as Mick Jagger. But his encounters with a celebrity have
their own unexpected outcomes: Burt Lancaster rants to him about transsexuality, Rita Hay-
worth is most worried about her neighbor's TV aerial, and a retired star of the silent screen
turns out to live in Henley-on-Thames.
